Laptop Lauren and the Trackers are the main characters in the Florida Quest, a 4-week, multi-media project involving thousands of students in Volusia and Flagler counties. It is sponsored by WCEU, The News-Journal, and the schools. The students sharpen their reading, writing, and research skills by using clues to solve community capers.
